Sous Vide Paleo Korean Ribs

When I get a new toy I sure like to play with it. Since adding the Sous vide to my cooking tool-set I've been an experimenting machine. This recipe is one you can prepare before you go to work or before you go to bed. The 12 hour cook time will make it worth the wait. I'm not even going to jump into some story about how great these are. Here, just make this recipe! Serves: 6 Here's What You Need...

Intermittent Fasting & Weight Loss

Approximately three years ago I seriously began to consider the application of Intermittent Fasting. When I would bring the idea of it up with clients, I would see their eyes start to widen with a tilt of their heads wondering to themselves how could I be crazy enough even to consider trying this idea. Fast forward to the present. Now, I've got clients asking with more frequency "How do you Intermittent Fast? Are 16 hours better than 14, or 12? Should I do a 24 hour fast? Etc

Deep Dish AIP Pizza

The great thing about embarking on a nutritional protocol like AIP is all the cool new recipes you get to experiment with. With experimentation comes new tips and tricks that you pick up to add to your gourmet creating tool kit. We gave making a dairy-free, gluten-free, tomato sauce-free pizza a try, and if I may say, it came out gourmet AF! Here's What You Need...

Kitchari Liver Cleanse Recipe

The recipe for Kitchari came into my awareness while listening to an episode of the Ben Greenfield podcast. The idea came to try the recipe to see how my body would respond to the liver cleansing that this recipe claims. I'm currently four days in, and my body feels well. You can follow along on my journey on my @flipawesomeaguilera account on IG. I've been posting my body data and how I've been feeling. Why would you want to do a liver cleanse anyway? The liver is a central

This Year Avoid Burnout and Stay Motivated For Life

By its very nature, life can often feel difficult and stressful. It requires continuous, sustained mental, emotional, and physical exertion that can leave us feeling worn down and in desperate want to getaway. But, let me ask you this, what if that sense that you need a break from the day-in-day-out of it all becomes something more? Feeling stressed and unmotivated happens. Let's go over some "hacks" to avoid burnout. If you’re extremely exhausted and feeling detached and ine

Chia Seed Pudding(AIP)

Chia seeds are a delicious and nutrition-packed treat. We use them all the time here in the Sweat Nation Kitchen. Chia seeds, you can think of them as mini powerhouses packing more calcium than milk(you want less dairy anyways), more antioxidants than blueberries(excellent add on), and more Omega-3 than Salmon. Their texture can make your treat interesting, they're so versatile and are a great protein-packed addition to many recipes because of their ability to thicken and gel

Turmeric & Honey Spatchcock Turkey

This year the mission was to make the juiciest turkey ever. Have you heard this one? " I don't really like turkey, it's too dry." You may have also heard the last turkey was dry on top, moist at the leg and thighs, but not too flavorful. Here at Sweat Nation, we're not about that eating something less desirable life. Life is too precious for all that noise. This time we brought three recipes together to create what was a hit for our family thanksgiving dinner. The research wa

Frankly, It's Not Going To Be Easy

Some of you that have come across me know that I have a podcast addiction. Actually, addiction may be an understatement. You may wonder what Is it that I get out of listening to podcasts. I get so much out of them. First, it's a great use of time in the south Florida traffic machine. Second, it exposes me to new ideas. Lastly it challenges me to overcome that part of myself that wants everything to come easy. 1) Be it in South Florida, LA, or on a rural farm in the Dakotas. U

Time Restricted Eating

"I didn't even get into this to lose weight. I wanted to try it because of all the health benefits towards longevity and anti-aging." is what Alain told me as we began to discuss time-restricted eating. What is time-restricted eating? Why might you want to give it a shot? Heres an intro course, Time Restricted Eating 101. Time-restricted eating is when you restrict your feeding time to a window throughout the day. The way I have been experimenting is I eat between 12:00 pm -

Facts On Veggies

You're at the grocery store. A typical thought on your grocery list if your goal is to get in shape might go something like... – Protein (chicken, beef, fish, eggs) I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to eat protein. – Healthy fats (avocados, coconut oil, nuts) Fat! Am I supposed to eat it or not? – Carbs (sweet potatoes, oats) Aren't carbs the new devil? – Supplements (protein powder, creatine, glutamine) Which if any supplements should I be getting? – Frozen pizza. I'm pretty

Spaghetti Squash Pad-Thai

Sometimes you just want a pile of something spicy-creamy-comforting… like Pad Thai. The original recipe includes the fixtures, rice noodles, soy sauce, peanuts, and sugar. To make it safe for Sweat Nation to consume it, We got working in the Sweat Nation kitchen and came up with this Super Star recipe that's sure to keep you feeling full and happy. We hacked the recipe by replacing the noodles with spaghetti squash, used coconut aminos instead of soy, recruited Sunbutter sauc

Sunshine Sauce

In the nutrition world, for many out there peanuts are a big no-no. It may not seem like a big deal to me to give up peanuts until you remember there are many decadent delicious recipes that call for peanut sauce. Veggies dipped in peanut sauce. Grilled chicken satay dipped in peanut sauce. Shredded beef wrapped in a butter lettuce leaf with diced red onion and drizzled with… peanut sauce. You get the idea. In looking for solutions for Sweat Nation clients I came across Sunbu

Freedom, To Live Longer

It's the week of July 4th and since you are an integral part of Sweat Nation today we are going to go over ways to live longer. With more days on this journey why not fill it with more friends, family, and freedom. It's been suggested that humans could live up to 120-140 years old. The current average U.S. lifespan has stalled at about 76 years. Chronic disease is the main culprit at this moment in the human story. Today we are going to talk about longevity, how to have more

Wedding Officiant Tips

What's good on your end of the screen? This past weekend I had the honor of officiating the Wedding of Rosalind Konikoff & Henry Rodriguez. The setting was magical. This was a destination wedding. The wedding took place in the hills/mountains of Dansville, New York at the Redmond House. Beautiful setting if you ask me. What an honor to be asked to preside over the public confirmation of the commitment of these two friends. The Sweat Nation Triumvirate is Mind/Body, Finances &

Infrared Therapy. What is it?

Infrared Therapy, The thought of it brings a vision and sensation of the universe just vibrating through us while doing awesome things. Today, we're going infrared Sweat Nation!!! I've caught myself thinking more about infrared lately. I've been curious about it since hearing about its benefits from several sources. A new yoga studio then popped up named Sol Yoga in Wynwood, an up and coming hip neighborhood of Miami, so I decided to quench my curiosity. Infrared, which is a

Create & Maintain Strong Relationships

My "Boy Child" is a born introvert, I read and try to understand the struggle of what it's like to feel like he might when being in busy social situations. He's broken out of it as he's gone through his teenage years but my imagination thinks what if he's “that guy” at conferences or events, who ducks away to his room or heads outside to recharge his batteries every few hours – something accomplished by escaping the crowds and being utterly alone. Maybe you thrive on long, so
